The giant
scale JU-87B Stuka plan set is 1/5.3 scale and consists of four large sheets
that clearly illustrate all structure as well as showing installation of flaps
and dive brakes. The JU-87B Stuka plan shows the installation of fixed wire
gear, servos and Zenoah G-62 engine and features one piece wing. The basic
structures use conventional “modeling” tools and materials such as balsa and
plywood, and the techniques are straightforward; easily accomplished by anyone
with previous model building experience. There are many online building threads
at
www.rcuniverse.com forums and
www.rcscalebuilder.com forums for Nick’s plans. Tech support is also
available via email at
www.ziroliplans.com or by phone 9:00 to 5:00 Mon - Fri EST 631-467-4765. The
plan includes full-size templates for all the required parts allowing you to cut
a complete “kit” before you start construction. If you don’t have the tools or
time to cut your own kit Nick Ziroli Plans now carries a laser cut short wood
kit for the JU-87B Stuka plan that contains all the parts that you would
otherwise have to cut by hand from balsa and plywood, it does not include sheet
or stick wood or hardwood, balsa blocks. There are many kit cutters such as
Precision Cut Kits that make a very fine full wood kit that contains all the
sheet, stick wood and balsa, hard wood blocks and laser cut parts to build the
complete model from our plans. The plans have a separate instruction guide and
building notes on the plans. There is quality landing gear made by other
manufacturers such as Sierra Giant Scale. If you choose gear or an engine not
shown on the plans you should have them on hand when you start construction to
make any changes needed for mounting. Nick Ziroli Plans recommends covering the
airframe with1oz fiberglass cloth and ZAP Z-poxy finishing resin. Nick Ziroli
designs are equally at home at the local sport flying field or the winner’s
circle at prestigious scale events such as Top Gun and the Scale Master’s; you
can add as much detail as you like. Nick Ziroli Plans has building and scale
accessories available for the JU-87B Stuka. Over the years, Nick’s designs have
gained the enviable reputation for being among the most “flyable” giant scale
models available
